Budget (including currency): 

Country: 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

Planning a build. I have a Ryzen 5800X CPU in a (hopefully) Thermaltake Core P6 Snow. It's going to be a "white" build so (a white MB) I was looking at the ASUS ROG Strix B550-A Gaming motherboard or (as plain as it is) the NZXT B550. And a 3080Ti.

I'm an artist and a gamer so I need something that can do both. Any advice or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

In P6 you only have one option and that's custom water ooling, Because this case has little to zero airflow and you'll therma l throttle otherwise.

But looking at your parts selection, Custom loop won't do you any good, Because it's very expensie, While you are getting mid range parts, So money will be better spent on other parts, Such as better CPU.

Forget that case.

 

What else you want to advice?

Maybe I wasn't clear w/ the case name. I'm talking about the Thermaltake The Core P6 TG Snow Edition transformable ATX Mid Tower Fully Modular Computer Case with Tt LCS Certification. Looking at the photos listed for the case there's an AIO installed so there must be some confusion.

But, I was curious about motherboards. As an artist and gamer I was looking for something (in white) that could handle both well. Thanks.
